The purpose of this market is to cover the crowdsourcing marketplace for testing, which we will refer to as crowdtesting. There are two main categories of crowdtesting services; vetted communities and unvetted communities. Vetted implies that the individuals have been vetted and verified by the crowdsourcing firm before connecting them with a client. There are also full service providers offering crowdtesting. This market concentrates on the pure-play vetted and unvetted providers.
The mobile AST market is composed of buyers and sellers of products and services that analyze and identify vulnerabilities in applications used with mobile platforms (iOS, Android and Windows 10 Mobile) during or post development. Many variations and flavors of techniques exist, but fundamentally mobile AST solutions test applications in three main ways: (1) SAST: These solutions statically analyze the source, binary or bytecode of an application to identify vulnerabilities. (2) Behavioral testing: Mobile AST solutions use behavioral analysis to observe the behavior of the app during runtime and identify actions that could be exploited by an attacker. (3) DAST: These solutions also use dynamic analysis to test the app in its runtime state. DAST simulates attacks against an application and analyzes the application's reactions, determining whether it is vulnerable.
Red Teaming as a Service (RTaaS) delivers continuous, on-demand threat-led adversarial testing through a subscription model that combines humans and automation. These tools provide leaders with a clear and structured way to manage vulnerability validation and response workflows, enabling them to operate security functions more efficiently and strategically. They leverage technologies such as machine learning, automation, and data-driven insights, giving businesses improved visibility into spending, defensive performance, risks, and compliance opportunities. Who are the target users of Red teaming as a service (RTaaS)? Typical users of Red Teaming as a Service (RTaaS) include large enterprises, government organizations, and highly regulated industries like banking and critical infrastructure that manage complex digital networks What are the core capabilities of Red teaming as a service (RTaaS)? Continuous Threat Emulation: Replacing static, annual assessments with ongoing testing that mirrors rapidly evolving, real-world attacker behaviors. Full Kill-Chain Validation: End-to-end testing across the entire enterprise attack surface to check if people, processes, and technology can actively detect and contain threats. Operationalized Threat Intelligence: Transforming abstract threat data into actionable, localized attack scenarios to rigorously test defensive controls. What are the benefits of Red teaming as a service (RTaaS)? The benefits include improved threat control, increased operational efficiency, and stronger compliance for organizations, while security leaders and teams gain faster decision-making, reduced manual effort, improved defense relationships, and actionable insights that support continuous improvement.
